The world keeps moving, if you don't want to move with it then pick something that has already stopped.

Maybe C? Cobol? Ada? Fortran? Though even those languages have modern flavors & updates...

We make progress because we learn, not just new technology, bu new approaches to old problems. When I see an "old" programmer who keeps writing C89 code because "it still works", it is painful to see them rejecting decades of learnings about how to write better software.
